The average age of 20 school cricketers is 12 yr. When the age of the coach is included the average becomes 15 yr. Find the age of the coach.
Explanation
Here we can use the formula
According to the question,
Sum of 20 school cricketers age (A=12, N=20)
⇒S=12 X 20 =240
Later, Age of the coach included, the average becomes 15 yr (so A=15, N=21)
So, sum of 20 cricketers and a coach age
⇒S=15 X 21 =315
Now,
The age of the coach =(sum of 20 school cricketers age)-(Sum of 20 cricketers and a coach age)
=315-240
=75
Hence, Option D is correct.
